This was the first of 15 books I read by Mary Higgins Clark.
I simply could not put it down. The plot of this book hooks you in the first chapter and keeps the pages turning to the very last page.
I read it in two days (working a full time job and taking care of a family) in my spare time, it is a very fast reading book.
This auther does a wonderful job with keeping the reader intrigued threw the entire book leaving you wanting to read another.

Mary Higgins Clark, A Cradle Will Fall

You will be pleasantly surprised by all the mystery. This is a wonderful story of a miracle doctor. Or is he a miracle doctor? Some people are starting to wonder after a supposed suicide.

Will they figure out this case, or is there a case at all? Read this outstanding, mysterious, even scary book to see if Dr. Highley is a Miracle worker at all.

Mary Higgins Clark's "The Cradle Will Fall" is the third book that I have read of hers(The other two were "On the Street Where You Live" and "The Anastasia Syndrome and Other Short Stories"). This one is my favorite and different from the others. It is very suspenseful. The killer, in my opinion, is one of the most psychotic villians I have ever read in a book! This book is really great. I totally recommend it if you wand a very suspenseful book to read. Read it and you just might become a fan of Mary Higgins Clark like I have.

I listened to the abridged audio cassette recording of Mary Higgins Clark's Remember me, read by actress Megan Gallagher and it so far my favorite Higgins Clark story, it was a joy to listen to not only because Mary Hggins Clark is such a great writer but also because Megan Gallagher has a nice pleasant voice which is always a plus when listening to an audio recording of a great book, there is nothing worse than listening to an audio recording of a fantastic book than when the reader has an annoying flat unemotional voice so I'm so glad that Megan Gallagher read this book with as much emotion as if she was making a movie or appearing in a TV show because she really made me feel as if I was listening to a movie and really made me feel sympathy for Menley even though she is a fictional character and I highly recommend this audio to be listened to as well as reading the book! I was also lucky to get the the unabridged audio recording from books on tape that normally is about 56 dollars or higher on sale for about 20 dollars which some people even think that is pricey but it was worth it for me because though I love to read I also love to listen to audio recordings but because I have been extremely busy I haven't yet found the time to listen to it but I'm going to try and make the time soon, that is one of my New Years's resolutions to make more time to sit and relax and enjoy a good book or audiobook!

Right from the start, this book had me hooked simply because of the Cape Cod setting. Menley and Adam Nichols have rented an old captain's house called The Remember House. As with most very old houses, there is always the rumor that it is haunted. This one is no exception. But Menley has other demons to face besides the ones haunting this house. Her son, Bobby, was killed when a train hit the car Menley was driving. She has been guilt-ridden ever since. Only the birth of their daughter, Hannah, has been able to help Menley with her depression and put their marriage back together. Adam feels that a little rest in such a beautiful place is all that Menley needs to return to her old self.

Shortly after their arrival on the island, Adam, an attorney, becomes enmeshed defending Scott Covey who is accused of murdering his wealthy wife Vivien. While Adam is busy with business, Menley is slowly but surely having a nervous breakdown and it seems to the reader that someone is trying to make her go crazy in true "Hitchcock" style.

As usual, Higgins Clarke throws in some extra characters and clues to throw you off track and hits you with her customary surprise ending.

Please note that I'm giving this book 5 stars for its genre only as well as comparing it to other books by this author.

Mary Higgins Clark is a terrific author and Remember Me is her best book and if you like MHC and haven't read this book yet I think you will probably like it and find it to be a page turner that you can't put down until you've read the last page and it may be one of your keepers that you will want to read again. A TV station called Pax made a TV movie out of this book starring Kelly McGillis as Menley and though the movie is okay if you try to enjoy it in it's ownright is actually a little disappointing if you comapre it to the book or the audio book recordings. My main complaints about the movie is that they left out several important facts and Kelly McGillis who is a good actress and plays Menley and the guy who played Menley's husband Adam really didn't have all that much chemistry together and I actually thought she had more chemistry with the guy from the Pretender who played Scott Covey, well anyway the movie is worth watching at least once so check it out.

I think that Mary Higgins Clark's novel, "I'll Be Seeing You", is great. I have read several of her books, but I found this one to be the best. I really enjoy Clark's style of writing. Throughout reading this book there were times when I thought I had the plot all figured out, but it turns out that the plot only thickens. The plot involves a television newsreporter known as Meghan Collins who is covering a story of a victim who has been stabbed. When Meghan sees the girl's face she is terrified by how much the victim resembles her and becomes determined to pursue the incident. Meghan's life is filled with tragedy when her father, Edwin Collins, is believed to have died in an accident which occurred on Tappan Zee bridge. Unfortunately, they are unable to find his body or any remains which belong to Mr. Collins. The fact that they are unable to issue a death certificate affects Meghan's mother, Catherine, who falls into debt and is worried about keeping up the family inn. When the people of the town become aware of the fact that Edwin had withdrawn substantial amounts of money the day before the accident, many people became suspicious of him as being a murder suspect. Meghan is out in search to save her father's name while covering a story on the Manning Clinic. A clinic where in vitro fertilization is performed. Throughout the many aspects that Meghan has uncovered she has been forced to change her way of living. I personally enjoyed reading this book because of the suspense throughout the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in mystery and suspense.

I read the novel I'll Be Seeing You by Mary Higgins Clark. The book went into detail about how a man named Edwin Collins led a secret life for over twenty years. Mary Higgins Clark did an excellent job of describing the details of why he did this and how his family coped with his dissappearance. While all this was happening, she wrote about someone getting murdered and a fraud in a doctors file. This added a great thrill to the story and made it a page turner from the start. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes a murder mystery from The Queen of Suspense. It was a wonderful novel in which Mary Higgins Clark showed her exquisite writing style while including an enteresting flare to a murder mystery.

This is not my first Mary Higgins Clark book,and nor will it be my last. She consistently writes mystery books that I find I cannot put down til I am finished. This book is definitely no exception.

I'LL BE SEEING YOU centers around Meghan Collins, a television news reporter who in the beginning of the novel is covering the story of a stabbing victim, a woman that happens to look very much like her! Pure coincidence? Or is there a connection?

At the same time, Meghan is dealing with the disappearnce of her father, Edward Collins, and because of the circumstances, no one knows whether Edward was murdered, or had just plain disappeared along with a huge sum of money. Both Meghan and her mother cannot move on with their lives because there is no body recovered from his supposed drowning off the Tappan Zee Bridge. At the same time, Edward is accused of murdering a woman that all had thought was a reputable scientist at a in-vitro fertilization center.

Between the death of the mystery woman and Meghan's father's disappearance, there unravels a complex story of a man with a double life, a newstory about the in-vitro fertilization center, and the facts that tie all of them together. And eventually, Meghan learns the mystery behind the stabbing victim.

This is a definite must-read for all Mary Clark Higgins fans!

Do you like mystery? Do you like suspense? Do you enjoy books that you can't put down? How about books with all sorts of twists and turns? If you do read "Weep No More My Lady" by Mary Higgins Clark. This book includes all of the traits listed above. "Weep No More My Lady" is very well written. You never know what to expect. "Weep No More My Lady" is about Leila LaSalle, a famous movie star who is murdered. The suspect of the murder is the victim's fiancee. The story is about the suspect's defense and how he prepares a testimony. At the same time the prosecution is putting together their case. All the suspects are Leila LaSalle's personal, close friends. While you are reading the book you also begin to catch on to all of Leila LaSalle's friends motives to kill her. While each side is getting ready for the trial both sides begin to find out more information than they would have liked too. All of Leila's friends become suspects of the murder and candidates for the next victim. The worst aspect of the book is it takes a while for the story to really pick up. That's because the author has to build up the story. Be sure to keep reading because once it picks up it's great. The best aspect is you can't put this book down once that happens. This book really makes you think, are your friends really your friends? In "Weep No More My Lady" anything is possible. Another great aspect is Mary Higgins Clark makes you fell like you are there. She makes it possible to visualize everything. "Weep No More My Lady" is excellent.

Having read Weep No More, My Lady at least three times and being an avid Higgins Clark reader, I have to say that Mary Higgins Clark definitely put her best work into said book. The plot intrigued me like no other book of hers I have ever read. In Weep No More, My Lady, Elizabeth Lange, a young actress, is grieving over her sister's death more than one year later. Her sister, Leila LaSalle, was murdered at her New York apartment. Preparing to testify against her dead sister's fiancee following his murder indictment in the case, an old friend of hers and accused murderer, Ted Winters, invites her to stay at lovely Cypress Point Spa in California-while Ted is also staying there. Her stay at the spa allows Elizabeth to dwell on her testimony and ponder whether or not it is accurate. As Elizabeth begins to unveil the truth, she is faced with danger. A great book-I definitely recommend this to any Mary Higgins Clark or general suspense fan. A definite page-turner. I could not set this book down!

Weep No More, My Lady is as good as the rest of the novels written by Mary Higgins Clark. It is filled with the same suspenseful elements needed to keep readers on the edge of their seats. You will notice yourself wanting to read the book nonstop, never getting bored with the same old plot. This novel is a who-done-it that keeps its readers guessing on who the enemy is. You will find yourself racing to finish the book because the suspense never ends. Mary Higgins Clark novels get a person motivated to read. Once you start, you can't stop until you've reached the conclsion. This book will have you asking so many questions. "How will it end?" "Who killed Leila?" "Will Elizabeth make it til the end of the novel or will her sister's murderer get her too?" No matter who you are, I think you will enjoy not only this novel, but any novels written by the talented "Queen of Suspense" Mary Higgins Clark. If you like drama, suspense, or mystery, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!

While my Pretty One Sleeps was a typical Mary Higgins Clark novel, filled with suspense, mystery, and murder. While it was a good book, it wasn't one of Clark's better novels. Clark is a good writer, however; While my Pretty One Sleeps isn't as good as some of her others like All Around the Town for example. The plot was well developed and the characters were believable.
Neeve Kearny is a high-class New York clothing storeowner who has a good intuition of the disappearance of one of her best customers, Ethel Lambston. Ethel is a famous gossipy author, who suddenly disappears without a trace. No one seems to notice or cares that Ethel is missing except for Neeve. After police finally realize she is missing and not out on one of her infamous get-a-ways, they find her body in a nearby park. Suspects start popping up and the police start a search for Ethel Lambston's murderer. Ethel's nephew moves into her apartment and starts inheriting her fortune. Him being her only kin he is surprisingly not disturbed by his aunt's death, which makes him a main suspect for the police. Another suspect pops up which is Ethel's ex-husband. He was the last to see Ethel alive and neighbors heard them in an enraged argument. Neeve Kearny struggles with her friendly client's death and it brings back memories of her mothers' death, which happened 2 decades before. With a twisting and mysterious ending the two deaths are intertwined with a shocking murdered.
This was my forth Mary Higgins Clark novel that I have read, even though it was good, I must say it wasn't one of the best. I like the kind of book that when I'm reading it I can't seem to put it down, with While my Pretty One Sleeps it wasn't hard for me to put it down and walk away from it. Only because the suspense wasn't there until the last few chapters. Most of the book is just setting up the characters and circumstances for the suspenseful ending.
Clark's character development was definitely good and made each character come to life and seem somewhat real. I've read other books and not really felt I knew the characters by the end of the book, but with this one I could. Neeve, the main character, was a complex character having to deal with Ethel's death and then her past with her mother's death. Clark did a good job getting into the minds of each character and why they felt how they did.
Even though she once again wrote another murder mystery book I could honestly say it was believable. The circumstances and how each person reacted to them were completely believable in the sense that the plot could easily happen. The plot of the story was well developed. Bringing the past and how Clark connected it to the climax of the book shows how well of a writer she is. One of the best things about this book was how easy it was to read. I wasn't struggling to find definitions to big words and getting lost in point of view or flashbacks the whole time.
I do recommend this book to other Mary Higgins Clark readers only because it's an OK read for one of her novels. I do not recommend this book to someone who has never read any of her books. I would suggest to start out on another novel of hers like All Around the Town or Remember Me. They are good and really get you deep into the book. Over all I rate While my Pretty One Sleeps 3 stars.

Ethel Lambston's body was found. The main suspects for the murder are: Douglas Brown, her nephew who will get all her money if she dies (she is rich), and her ex-husband, Seamus Lambston who has been giving her alimony checks ever since the divorce. All the clues point to both the suspects.
When Neeve's mother was killed, her family thought it was Nicky Spetti, but when Ethel's throat is the same as the one on her mother's neck, Neeve thinks otherwise.
I liked this book a lot. There were three suspects, and you never know who did it until the last four pages. It was a page-turner. Also, this book was just real confusing, and that is what makes it so good. It is just one of those books that you can't put down. Wouldn't you like to read a book like this? I am pretty sure that I would. That is why I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in reading it.
I read tons of books than this one. In the others you normally find out who killed the person in the middle, but then you have to find the person. In this one you find out in the last pages, and the person is right there. I think that this is one of Marry Higgins Clark's best books. I may have rated it a four, but that is because I think it could have ended a little bit sooner. I don't think that it should've been dragged on so long. It kind of made the book a little bit boring. Also, the book itself could have been more into the story. I mean, it really didn't need the part about her mom dieing, that could've been left out and they still could've found out who the murderer is, because it is a book, not real life/

I used to not enjoy reading, but after picking up While My Pretty One Sleeps, I think I've changed my mind! Unlike other mysteries that are boring and hard to follow, this book has a great plot and is very suspenseful. I admit that I had a hard time putting it down at night! You're hooked within the first chapter, when the story begins with the murder of gossip columnist Ethel Lambston. Lambston had written a column that could destroy the careers of many fashion designers, and someone was angry enough about it to kill her! There are many suspects, but you really won't know who did it until the last pages. The only person who cares about Ethel's disapperance is Neeve Kearny, owner of an expensive boutique where Lambston was a customer. When Ethel is found dead in a park, Neeve is reminded of her mother's murder. As she stuggles to find the truth, she doesn't realize that she may be the next to die... While My Pretty One Sleeps is more than just a mystery, it also has a little romance added in. The characters are very realistic, and there isn't a boring page in the whole book! I would definetly recommend this book to anyone!!

I read this book for the first time when I was in jr. high and it scared me so bad I couldn't sleep. I'm in Grad school now, and every time I re-read A Cry in the Night it still scares me! I think it's scarier that her other books because Erich's obsession is so creepy, and also because children are in danger, not just a woman. Clark writes about kids so well, I wonder why she stopped including them as semi-major characters after Where Are the Children and this book. I highly recommend A Cry in the Night, and I rank it her second-best book after Remember Me. (At the time of this writing, We'll Meet Again is Ms. Clark's latest.) Don't start this one when you're home alone, because you won't be able to put it down, and then you won't be able to sleep!

After finishing the incredibly stale LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART, I was about ready to give up on Mary Higgins Clark. If you're someone who, like me, was beginning to wonder what all the Clark hoopla was about, run out quick and get a copy of A CRY IN THE NIGHT, which can be described as a sort of modern cross between PSYCHO and REBECCA. This is a very well-done book, and it succeeds on many levels.

Jenny MacPartland is a divorced mother of two who is swept off her feet by Erich Krueger, a kind, handsome artist who marries her and takes her back to his sprawling farm in Minnesota. Not long after she arrives, she begins to sense tension in the air. Erich begins to behave strangely. Her ex-husband, Kevin, comes down to visit her, stirring up trouble. The whole place is overshadowed by the strange presence of Caroline, Erich's long-dead mother, to whom Jenny bears a striking resemblance. Soon Jenny begins to have dizzy spells and wonders if she is sleepwalking during the night. What began as a dream for both the protagonist and the reader has transformed into a horrific nightmare.

Clark handles this transformation with considerable deftness, demonstrating her masterful control of pace and characterization. The plot is especially convoluted and intricate; in fact, there are as many surprising twists as there are pages. Unlike LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART and WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN?, in which the terror kicks in only in the last few chapters or so, A CRY IN THE NIGHT turns on the suspense less than halfway through the novel and never lets up the pressure. This is an unusually chilling book, but aside from all the suspenseful pleasures of the story, it is also a very sad and emotionally involving drama. There is no pat resolution or happy ending here, but the denouement, if bittersweet, is wholly satisfying. This reader is, I'm happy to report, an officially converted Clark fan.

This book was one of Mary Higgins Clark's best! My cousin lent it to me about a month ago, and I finished it in a week. It's about a young divorcee named Jenny. She has two little girls, named Tina and Beth. One day, she meets an artist named Erich Krueger, and her life totally changes. Married within the month, whisked off to Minnestota,and adored by all, Jenny is living the life others dream of. When herex-husband is murdered and she is accused, Jenny is caught in a frighten- ing whirlpool of events that threaten to shatter her sanity...
I recommend this book for ages 12 and up. It's one of my favorites. Anyone who likes Mary Higgins Clark should read this book. It was AWESOME! ...

This book Loves Music, Loves to Dance is an amazing suspense novel. It kept me on the edge of the seat and I couldn't put it down. I never would have thought that personal ads were as creepy as they are and that they draw madmen out of their cave.
TV producer, Nona, wants to do a show about why people respond to personal ads and who they are. Nona convinces her two best friends to do some research for her. Erin and Darcy both agree and Erin answers ads for the both of them. After a date with an "ad person" Erin isn't heard from again, but a few days later her body is found strangled to death and wearing a dancing slipper and her own shoe. Darcy soon finds out that many other girls who answered the ads are missing but still Darcy wants to find the killer of her best friend. Darcy keeps trying to find out who killed her friend, not realizing she is the next victim. The story jumps back and forth to show you what the murderer is feeling. It gives you huge creepy feeling; yet you understand how crazy he is. You would never guess that the killer is who he really is. He started killing 15 years ago when he had a huge crush on Nan Sheridan and he got jealous of her. He was invited to her party so he decided to give her her gift the next morning, a pair of dancing slippers. If you love suspense novels this is one you should read. You won't put it down and you will stay up half the night trying to read it.

This was a wonderful book by MHC. I had to stop reading it when I was alone in my house. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book. Darcy and Erin have been best friends since college and now they both live in NY. The two of them start answering personal ads as a favor to a friend. Erin and Darcy have fun comparing who they meet until the day Erin mysteriously disappears. Her body is found on an abandoned pier. She is oddly wearing a dancing slipper on her foot. Though the police disagree, Darcy knows Erin was murdered by the person Erin answered the personal ad to. Darcy is determined to find Erin's killer. Little does she know, Darcy is the next victim!

LOVES MUSIC, LOVES TO DANCE is a mystery written by Mary Higgins Clark. Erin Kelley and Darcy Scott, best friends, have just finished college, and move to the big apple in hopes of finding suiting careers. To help their TV producer friend out, they start answering personal ads in the newspaper. They are curious to see what the people are like who place the ads. They both are carefree until Erin disapears and is found, dead, on a Manhattan pier, one foot in her boot, the other in a dancing shoe. The police soon find out that Erin wasn't the first to die on the "dance crazed" murderer's list. What the police do not know, however, is that Darcy is next on the serial killers list. All of these events tie together to make a compelling mystery that seems unsolvable. Mary Higgins Clark ties things together in such a manner that the events may not even seem possible. She's done it again!

THE ANASTASIA SYNDROME - One Star - This story is very un-Mary Higgins Clark. It might be a good story if you believe in supernatural powers. I don't, therefore it left me disappointed. It is well-written, she created a very dark and eerie atmosphere but the whole theory of the Anastasia Syndrome seems pretty silly to me. TERROR STALKS THE CLASS REUNION - Five Stars - This is a stupid title but a great story. It makes you feel as helpless as the victim. I had a nightmare about this story the night after I finished it - and I read a lot of suspense stories but almost never dream about them! LUCKY DAY - Three Stars - A nice story about trust but not outstanding. I liked the ending, it is very good - and surprising. DOUBLE VISION - Four Stars - A very creepy story about acting and revenge. It includes another supernatural appearance but this one is easier to tolerate than "The Anastasia Syndrome". THE LOST ANGEL - Three Stars - A Christmas story with a very predictable ending. Not much suspense but okay to read.

The sories in this book are great reading. This is the 2nd book by Mary Higgins Clark that I have read and I loved it. Having 5 short stories in one book was great for my short attention span. If you do not have a lot of time to sit down and read a whole book at one time, this would deffinatly be a good to read. You could read one story at a time.

My favortie story was the first one, The Anastasia Syndrome. A womans mind is taken over by an evil womans mind from the past. You will never guess how it ends.

The other four stories were very enjoyable reads as well. Terror Stalks the Class Reunion will keep you guessing through the whole story.

Lucky Day starts out as a lucky day for one man and turns out to be unlucky for him and two other people.

Double Vision is a bit of a stretch for the title. You have to read it to find out why.

The Lost Angel is my least favorite but an enjoyable read any way.

I've read other books of Mary Higgins Clark before, but I've enjoyed this book of Anastasia and other short stories the most.

In the main story, Anastasia, an historical writer Judith Chase, is engaged to the future prime minister, Stephen Hallet. She is working on a novel though, and is caught up in a lot of other issues along with it. The evil mind of Margaret Carew, dominates Judith, and it is a true mystery as to what is happening within her mind. You really have to read into it to know what I am referring to here, but it becomes very frightening in many places as Judith experiences strange events. The psychiatrist, Dr. Patel, puts her under hypnosis, giving her a drug that makes her regress further into her confusing past.

The other stories in the book, were even scarier yet, than Anastasia. If you feel like a good thrill, read on!

Stillwatch, was an exciting book to read. I enjoyed reading this book because the constant events kept my attention. Throughout the book, the main character, Pat Traymore, goes one on one with somone who doesn't wish for her to bring out old memories about the senator's past life. The amount of dedication this person goes through to prevent any information from being accessed by the public is outstanding. Other books I have read don't add up to half that of Stillwatch. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that likes detective novels or mysteries. I had my own opinion of who was involved with trying to stop Pat, but the book fooled me and I learned that who I thought was the perpetrator actually had no actual importance part in the book. This book was one of the best books I have read.

Traveling from Boston to Washington, D.C., Pat Traymore has come to do a TV documentary on Senator Abigail Jennings of Virginia, the first woman expected to become Vice President of the United States. But before Pat even starts, she receives several threatening phone calls--and, later, a note--telling her not to pursue the program, and to definitely not reside in the same house she had lived in the first three years of her life. This last half of the threat is alarming to her, because very few people know about her parent's murder-suicide in that house, which is part of the reason why she had decided to stay there--so she could find out the truth about their death in private.

When she's not searching for clues about that, Pat is delving into Senator Jennings' background, though the woman is reluctant to open up about certain parts of her life, forcing Pat to investigate further. She eventually does get into trouble for that when she reveals too much about the senator's past--involving theft, infidelity, and murder.

"Stillwatch" is fairly fast-paced and an all-around good read. While partially a political mystery, it's relatively uncomplicated and free of political jargon, so the average reader can understand it. There's also a small amount of romance involving Pat and Sam Kingsley, an older congressman she had had a brief affair with a couple of years ago, but who has now become somewhat involved with the senator. I'm not much of a romance fan, but this underlying storyline was tolerable and doesn't overshadow the main story; plus I admired how Pat acted in the relationship; she wasn't the typical clingy, overly-sentimental heroine. If this book is any indication of what her others are like, then this certainly won't be my last Mary Higgins Clark book.

I have read practically all of Mary Higgins Clark's novels, but "Stillwatch" is, by far, my favorite. I love the imagery and the character development. The weaving of the characters into each other's lives emphasizes the cliche, "It's a Small World." I actually own this novel as a part of the three-novel collection including "Weep No More My Lady," and "A Cry in the Night." I find myself pulling this book of the shelf time after time, and skipping the other two novels because I think that "Stillwatch" truly displays Clark's mastery as an excellent storyteller. To all who read the reviews before picking up the book, "Stillwatch" is a definite must, to past, present, and future Mary Higgins Clark fans. BRAVO!

Let Me Call You Sweetheart by Mary Higgins Clark

This book was very good. I really enjoyed reading it. Although it starts off slow and out of nowhere, the plot thickens and it is a big surprise at the end. Suzanne Reardon, a wealthy woman, is murdered. Over her body are sweetheart roses, hence the name. Her husband was convicted of the murder. He is in jail for at least 30 years without parole. Ten years later, Kerry Magrath and her daughter are in Dr. Smith's office, for a plastic surgery counseling. Kerry sees a Suzanne Reardon look-alike. She looks into Dr. Smith and finds out he is Suzanne's father. This leads up to a number of other suspects including Jonathan Hoover, Jimmy Weeks and others that may have had interest in Suzanne. It leads up to the end where Dr. Smith is murdered as well. Kerry then finds out who the killer is, but not soon enough. She goes to the killer's house and she and Robin are to be killed until someone who couldn't before helps them. I recommend this book to anyone who is willing to stick with it and loves a good mystery story.

Mary Higgins Clark writes another page turner for her faithful readers. Kerry McGrath, an astute prosecutor and divorced mother, joins the list of Clark's famous heroines as she takes mystery lovers on a ride through this multi-tiered suspenseful story. McGrath deals with plastic surgeon Dr. Smith, who recreates the beautiful face of his murdered daughter on other patients, mob figure Jimmy White, her ex-husband and mob attorney Bob Kinellen, antique expert and thief Jason Arnott, and powerful politicians. They all become neatly tied in the end to the murdered Suzanne Rearden. The young prosecutor juggles motherhood that deals with fear for the safety of her ten-year old daughter, and of course attracts the attention of fellow attorney Geoff Dorso who represents the convicted murderer Skip Rearden. Allusion to the song "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" in the title and the book is ironic because it represents anything but love for the murdered sweetheart. All the same, this sweetheart of a book will keep you burning the midnight oils.

This book is called Let Me Call You Sweetheart. The author is Mary Higgins Clark. This book is a murder mystery about a lawyer who finds some information on an old murder case. The father of the victim is a plastic surgeon and is recreating his daughters face on other women. She researches the case that no one wants to open up. She gets herself into trouble with the murderer.
I have read many Mary Higgins Clark books in the past. She is a great author, this book is no exception. It leads you through a maze of twists and turns and the conclusion amazes you.
I really liked this book. There are surprises everywhere. For example here is a quote from the book. "With a roar, the car came rushing across the road, seemingly aimed right toward her. Just as she thought it was going to come up the curb and hit her, it swerved into a U-turn and then raced down the block. page 117" It's great how Clark lets you think you have figured out who the killer is and then you get new information. I think that I am like the Kerry McGrath the lawyer. If I came upon some information that was important. I wouldn't listen to all the people who want me to leave it alone. I really like Clark's style, a few other of her books I would recomend and, Loves Music Loves to Dance, All Around The Town, and On the Street Where You Live. They are all murder mysterys. If you get scared easily or have nightmares about things you read, I would not recommend this book. It is pretty scary. One of the most scary things about it is that her stories seem like something that could happen to you, her characters are like people you know. If you like to be frightened I would definitly reccomend this book and many of her other ones.
